An excellent school trip choice! See how bees produce honey and many other by-products, and explore the role and tools of the beekeeper. Check out the Museum's live hive and try to find the queen among all the workers and drones.
If a school trip is impossible visit the Taking Care of Beesness exhibition, or to find out even more, check out the Bees: A Honey of an Idea virtual exhibition.
